IH-888-UHR - Indigo UHR 21/23oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut
-
I love my 888NT. They fade so fast. You’re gonna love yours.

Yes, unless you want your jeans to shrink a whole bunch when they finally see hot water. By that time though they’ll be ruined because the stitching will have broken and there’ll be tears at the sharply creased areas.
This is loomstate denim. It has seen no water since it was dyed with indigo. Until it is soaked and washed the stitching isn’t embedded and the denim is prone to creasing and tearing.
Sage advice…. I'm following it now, sans machine wash.
Legs only, cancelled. Whole pants are submerged.

Don't think I have ever seen you in jeans @UnTucked
Looks good -

So, day one of wear…
First and foremost: BUTTONS
My soft lil' keyboard hands were not at all prepared for this, lol!Aside from that, I love these jeans so far. VERY comfortable. The high rise sits perfectly, and the thigh is spot on. I probably could have afforded to go down one size, but I know the break-in stretching would definitely deter me from wearing them as much. If I double back and get the IH-888-RE, I'll definitely size down.
Now… I wear, wash and wait!
Cheers!

I'm a habitual line stepper when it comes to what I wear to work…
I've never been reprimanded or warned, but I know I skirt a fine line. If it ever comes up, I'll ask the amazingly dickish questions "Do ANY of you guys look more presentable than me on any given day?" and "Is wearing a t-shirt and jeans more or less professional than not wearing deodorant?"

This^ Bullying and Group think does not discriminate. Every group, for the most part, has a pecking order and pulls the same shit as the next. IMO
Also @UnTucked that’s a great fit.

There is a shrink test somewhere here on this thread. I would Go with the same size as 888s if I were you. They don’t shrink as much as you would Expect.
@neph93 will be here shortly to Answer all of your questions. Amply.
Thanks for the feedback! I’m just concerned about the thigh dropping under 13” and the knee under 9”

@Ceeds the thigh and knee may drop just under those measurements after the soak and wash but will stretch back too, with wear. I’d certainly recommend the 33 as they will be closest to your 888S in the long run. I suspect you’d find yourself with far too much room in the tag 34.
You could always ask IHUK to see if they have a pair of tag 33 with a slightly wider leg.

Thanks guys - I’ll most likely be doing the 33’s based on your recommendations. Appreciate it!

I am most pleased with how my jeans are evolving. This is a little over 2 months wear. I'm disqualifying myself from the DWC since I haven't been wearing my jeans or posting regular updates either. So I will just post my shots here.
The denim is still very crispy but has an ultra soft hand now- depending on humidity. The more humid the rougher they feel. I guess this could be due to my skin. But they feel softer in cooler, dryer weather.
It's pretty cool how hairy the denim is.

@Ceeds these will stretch quite a bit. Back to the pre-soak measurement and even more. For example I am closer to a size 40 but am wearing a 38. The waist has stretched to almost a 38.75. It won't be comfortable or fun, but they will fit you perfectly after about 2 months of daily wear. Also the more snug they are, the better the evo will be in the long run.
However, the doggo's face is a bit like "I never asked for this."
